Redacted

A Film by Brian De Palma.

It must be insightful and thought-provoking. Bill O'Reilly wants to Boycott it. You should see some of the neocon posts on Youtube calling Producer Mark Cuban treasonous.
For that reason alone I feel compelled to spread the word.
Here's the link to O'Reilly's senseless rant and his mindless Fox-hounds comments.
Synopsis from Redacted web site.
A fictional story inspired by true events, REDACTED is a cinematic rallying cry from one of film's greatest provocateurs, Brian De Palma.
REDACTED radically engages viewers in the way images and information are disseminated in a time of war. A profound meditation on the way information is packaged, distributed and received in an era with infinite channels of communication, REDACTED exposes the extreme disconnect between the manipulation of images and information and the truth, especially timely as opposition to the Iraq War continues to mount.
Centered around a small group of American soldiers stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq, REDACTED utilises m! ultiple points of view, balancing the experiences of these young men under duress and the media with those of the local Iraqi people caught in between, illuminating how each have been deeply affected by the Iraq war and the implications of redacting or editing on all of us.
A passionate anti-war film, Brian De Palma's REDACTED is a thrilling return to form for the filmmaker and an urgent call to put an end to the current conflict in Iraq.

A Friendly Reminder

I saw on CNN today the Dow dropped 3oo points. Third worse drop this year. It's a good thing the Democrats stopped Bush's attempt to privatize SSI last year. Just think what would happen to all those poor souls on Social Security Pensions if Wall Street had gotten a hold of their money.

I Can't Wait Until 2008

Senseless Iraq war, Iran's next, terrorism, outsourcing our jobs, open borders, genetically engineered food, and now....... Toxic imports. You'd think the government would do something to stop the flow of toys contaminated with lead that's poisoning, even killing our children. Oh, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is too busy taking trips paid for by the toy companies.
As if all that isn't enough, the latest outrage is our prescription drugs. Our government says it doesn't have the resources to inspect more than 2% of the facilities in China that make our drugs. And you wonder why your Lexapro isn't working........
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 2008 WHEN WE CAN ELECT A DEMOCRAT WHO WILL DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING WILL BE BETTER THAN THIS!
